Endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with periapical lesion
One of the most common complications after dental trauma is pulp necrosis, which is often associated with apical periodontitis. The management of these teeth is challenging due to large root canals, open apices, and thin dentinal walls. 1
Long-term irritation leads to periapical lesions and cysts in the apical region. If left untreated, necrotic and infected pulp causes inflammatory lesions in the periapical tissues to grow over time, leading to structural changes in the bone. In some cases, root canal treatment may be required later during follow-up of injuries, due to subsequent pulp necrosis and infection of the root canal system. 2-3
Use of internal bleaching in prosthetic cases
Matching the color of dental crowns to discolored tooth abutment is a tough challenge in modern dentistry. When a tooth abutment is discolored—due to staining, injury, or previous treatments—it can be hard to make a crown that looks natural and blends well with the surrounding teeth.
The difficulty comes from several factors: the original color of the tooth, the type of discoloration, and the materials used for the crown. Although new materials and techniques have made it easier to match colors, getting a perfect match is still not always possible. This can affect the overall look of the dental work.
Re-treatment Decoding part 2: MB2, the most hated canal
In this article we are going to review how can we deal with the most hated canal in Endodontics from diagnosis to obturation.
BlueShaper PRO: Two heat treatments in a single instrument, DUAL WIRE technology.
We will describe and analyze the new BlueShaper PRO system for rotary surgical preparation of root canals with the new Dual Wire technology. It includes a basic set of 4 […]
Simplified MTA apical plug
Root resorption is a pathological process that may occur after surgical mechanical, chemical or thermal insult. Generally, it can be classified as internal and external root resorption. Depending on the […]
Retreaty: The best daily practice with the best kit available
Our primary purpose in Endodontics is represented by the chance to preserve and maintain a tooth in place, even if previously treated. One of the indication for a retreatment is when the coronal seal is compromised. This clinical case highlights the daily practice with the predicability of the use of Retreaty kit by Perfect Endo.
External cervical resorption
External cervical resorption (ECR) is an aggressive form of root resorption (RR), which initiates from the external cervical area of the tooth. Its aetiology is mostly unclear. As in this […]
3 rooted Lower Second Molar
Most mandibular second molars are usually found to have two roots (76%) or one root (22%). The incidence of 3 roots anatomy in such teeth is considered a rare finding […]
Retreatment of teeth with a complex root system anatomy #1
The second maxillary premolar may have 1 to 3 roots: with one root canal in 75-96% of cases, with two root canals in 4-24% and three root canals in 0-1%. […]
Revive and Shine: Retreaty – The Perfect Partner for Flawless Endodontic Retreatment
This particular case serves as an illustrative example of the application of correct rotary protocol in the execution of a root canal procedure within a mandibular first molar with calcified and missed canal, employing Retreaty files from Perfect Endo.
Two Appointments Endo Resto: a simplified workflow to make prosthodontics helpful to endodontics
The aim of the article is not to introduce a new technique, but to combine existing and consolidated ones in order to maximize the ergonomics, quality and predictability of our treatments; the proposed protocol was designed to satisfy the work mantra "the best work, in the shortest time, in the greatest comfort" and therefore entirely focused on reducing chair time and maximum operational facilitation.
